Stadium Summer Event Flooring

A procurement was carried out in December 2023 for 9,000 sqm of flooring (Referred to as Pad 1) which identified 2 suppliers who would be able to provide event flooring; offering two products. We awarded the contract to Terraplas for their Terratrack flooring based upon their response being the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).

The remaining requirement of flooring (Referred to as Pad 2) was made up of 4,000 sqm of Armourdeck flooring and 7,000 sqm of hired flooring. The intention for summer 2025 was that we would continue with this approach, however;

•Inspection of the owned Armourdeck after Summer 2024 has identified that some of the owned & hired flooring has deteriorated quicker than expected.

•The Armourdeck product has been discontinued.

•The ability to hire the Armourdeck product has become more difficult over time.

•In areas used by the public (such as the pitch) compatible flooring products should be used together for safety reasons. Separating Pad1 and Pad 2 was acceptable, but mixing Armourdeck & terratrack in “Pad2” could be problematic & less efficient.

Therefore, to reduce the potential for issues, it is recommended to purchase more of the Terraplas flooring to create a standardised product flooring for all Pad areas in the stadium and reduce the need to hire flooring for future years. Through the procurement carried out it was identified that Terraplas is the only supplier who can provide the flooring, there are no re-sellers.
